Seattle has placed some of these self cleaning toilets around town - to be used by the homeless (Winos). Cost if I remember, was over $200,000 each. As much as taxpayers complained about the cost the city did it anyway.

Great! Now if we can only make people flush the toilets when they get through. Women don't flush public johns because, they don't like to touch the 'dirty' handle. They leave the flushing to the next one using it. I hate that!

".....as good as marksman they are when hunting they can't seem to hit the toilet."

You know what might cure that? Threaten to sit and watch them EVERY time they go in to the bathroom. Their "missing" might end verrrrry quickly. Also, make THEM clean up.

Man! Have they never heard of tissue over the handle??? I think that's just plain laziness. You're right, it's disgusting!

With 2 shedding black dogs in the house.

Their effluvia will now be sterile.

I read an article last year about something very similar from the Japanese. They have developed tiles, paint, etc. that repel germs. It's a great idea. I think it won't be long before this type of material is on the market.

Oh, do tell me about this removable seat? And what is up with them (my two boys) not being able to hit the toilet???

I actually want someone to design a giant funnel that fits into the toilet.

Or an absorbent pad that fits around the toilet base (including the back of the base) that can then be picked up and thrown away.

Or a stand-alone stand-up urinal that you can hook up to the toilet until your boys learn to aim.

When it scrubs and vacuums itself, get back to me!

"I have patented a technique for self cleaning laundry as well, especially suitable for bachelors."

So do I...just wear your clothes into the shower.

This is more cool than the attachment you screw on the bed to keep the house clean.

Somehow, I'm not sure I'd want to live in (even a very clean) toilet. What if I accidentally flushed my self ?

Amen. I swear it took us 3 different models, and countless cat "incidents" to figure out the thing didn't like the self cleaning litterbox. I swear... @#$%!

I saw this on "I Want That" on HGTV....I goggled this and the seat they were talking about was too expensive. The one I got at Lowe's is by Westport, installs like any other seat but you need to flip the two caps to the right and lift the whole thing off and clean....also an added bonus is that it self closes so you don't have the slam affect. I paid under$30.00 for it and maybe you could find it on the web even cheaper....you will love it.....I know I am getting older when devices like this make me happy.

YOu don't know HOW much you have made my day, Kimmers. Now I have to get to work inventing my other ideas for handling stray streams of pee.
